I did it for the safety and am thrilled regularly by all the absolutely cool, customized, FREE extensions that all the fabulous and creative people in the web community create and make available at places like https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions.php?app=firefox. My firefox screen displays the minutes left on my verizon account, the weather for my area for the three days with a mouseover radar pop-up and has a scrolling ticker for my RSS feeds—for a start.
Firefox rocks.

Can’t speak for everyone, but I know that when I am taking my vitamins regularly (especially after having missed a few days—OOPS!) I do feel perceptibly better. And when I think about it, that seems to be the common denominator.
And who knows—even if you don’t feel it, it may still be doing you good. Women trying to get pregnant need to make sure they’re getting adequate amounts of folic acid. They may not be able to tell the difference, but their bodies can!

I recently started a job where I drive a lot—sometimes 5 or six hours in a day. Audiobooks have stopped the activity from being a chore and instead made it something I look forward to (except for thinking about the cost of gas and contribution to global warming).
I download my books from www.audible.com and put them on my iPod (although I’ve used other MP3 players with it) and then hook it into my car stereo through a tape adapter, which seems to work best from everything I’ve read.
Some thoughts on this goal? Start with a book that you would enjoy reading first—a genre that you are comfortable with, etc. If you love classics, start there, but if you don’t, chances are you won’t like them in an audio format either. Or maybe you will! But I’d give the new format a chance with something you like first!
Also, if multi-hour books seem daunting at first, you should see if there are any podcasts out there that interest you online (the iTunes store has a whole section on them)—most of them are free, you can find one on most any subject, and they can be a little more digestible at an hour or so in length than some books that can run for days…
Good luck!
